Illustrative Example for Grace Period Calculation:
For a statement for the period 21st March to 20th April, the Payment Due Date is 10th May. If your previous month's dues in full, the grace period would be:
- For a purchase on 21st March, interest free grace period is 21st March to 9th May: 50 days.
- For a purchase dated 1st April, Interest-free grace period is 1st April to 9th May: 39 Days.
- For a purchase dated 10th April, Interest-free grace period is 10th April to 9th May: 30 Days.
Thus, the grace period can vary depending upon the date of the purchase. However, if you have not paid the previous month's balance in full or if you have availed of cash from an ATM, then there will be no interest-free period.
VI. Interest for both the revolving credit and cash advance

Interest, if payable are debited to the Card holder's account till the outstanding on the card is paid in full.
- Interest on cash advances is applicable from the date of transaction until the payment is made in full.
- When the customer carries forward any outstanding amount or avails of Cash Advance, interest calculated by average Daily Balance Method, will apply to balances carried forward and to fresh usage.
- If a Cardholder avails of the revolving credit facility of the Credit Card and hence chooses to pay an amount less than the total amount due reflected in the monthly billing statement, All the outstanding transactions would attract interest including new transactions from the date of transaction, till such time the outstanding amount are repaid in full.
- Late Payment charges will be applicable if Minimum Amount Due is not paid by the payment due date. Clear funds need to be credited to JK Bank Card account on or before the payment due date to avoid Late Payment Charges, applicable as per Schedule of Fee and charges.

Assuming that you purchased a Watch for Rs.1200 on 1st April and a Finger Ring for Rs.800 on 10th April, and you have made minimum payment due that is Rs.100 on 10th May.
The interest will be calculated as under:
- Billing cycle 21st to 20th.
- Payment Due Date 10th
- Minimum Payment Due Rs.100.
- Payment of Rs.100 made on 10th May.
- Balance carried forward (Revolved Amount) Rs1900.
Interest Calculation:
Interest Calculated = (Outstanding Amount X 3.00% X 12 Months X No. of Days)/365
- Interest on Rs.1200 for 39 days (from 1st April to 9th May) Rs.46.16.
- Interest on Rs.800 for 30 days (from 1oth April to 9th May) Rs.23.67.
- Interest on 1900 for 11 days (from 1oth May to 2oth May) Rs.20.61.
Total interest charged in Billing Cycle from 21st April to 20th May is Rs.90.44 + applicable Tax.
Total Outstanding Rs.1990.44.
Please note that the interest and other charges are subject to change at the discretion of J&K Bank, however any change in charges shall be notified to cardholder prior to 30 days.

Outstanding in the Credit Card account or additional loan thereon (For Credit Card dues referred hereinto is the Minimum Amount Due as the mentioned in the credit card billing statement). |
|
